[quote name="mouche10" post="803267" timestamp="1274276022"] Central Christian Carmouche - 1b or DH Keonis Brazier- short or 2nd Devon Olgetree - short Courtlun Thomas - Center [/quote] Must think people didn't the first time this was posted so let's post a second time....  That will definitely change some minds. ;)

1696 was looking for this thread. bringing it back to the top.  It had slid to page 2.

Pitcher... Trae Hester/ Kirby Bellow Catcher... Mike Hester 1B........ Laird 2B........ Landry(would move him over from ss) 3B........ Sweetenham SS....... Sonnier OF........ Cardenas OF........ Brady OF........ Jalali DH........ Pitts

Vidor takes this one.  Go Pirates!!

I'm not trying to offend but when you consistently get ten run ruled and no-hit there is no way any player's stats would compare to those of the teams at the top of the district.  Doesn't mean there aren't some good players on Central and Ozen.  They just don't match up with the players from the top four teams.  Since you seem to think your are better than the players that have been mentioned, tell who they would be able to beat out on the top four teams and why they should beat them out?

Fore Central Donte Gilmore and Devan Ogletree and for Ozen Tre Thomas and Greg Monette.  These are some pretty good players even though their teams didnt do well.. [/quote] No way do they beat out the players from Nederland, PNG, or Vidor...someone from Central and Ozen will make the team but that only lessens the honor that should come with being All District.

[quote name="BASEBALLFANS" post="797369" timestamp="1272912564"] Nice JoesBros. Put Hester out there all by his lonesome and see how many games he wins by himself. I love Trae, but one man don't make a team unless you are playing golf or tennis or some sport like that. That is why Baseball is a team sport. It takes 9 to win with, not just one. [/quote] How many would you have won without him?  You lose him and you don't have near as good a team. 

[quote name="bulldogbacker" post="797203" timestamp="1272887252"] Sophs Nederland 19    Lumberton  3 Smith goes four and Sanderson gets the mop up duty. Lumberton had only one infield hit in the first. Sophs finish the year 21-1 with the only loss to westbrook JV. Great things for Nederland in the not too far future. 8) [/quote] What an idiot.  It's freshman ball.  Seems Nederland won district ND made it to the Regional Finals last year and won district THIS YEAR without these players.  So I think great things just may be going on right now. :o

[quote name="Pluto" post="795583" timestamp="1272461039"] [quote author=vidor pirate link=topic=68941.msg793656#msg793656 date=1271976154] mojica and trae should be locks for 1st team [/quote] So should Mike! [/quote] Who from the top two teams(Cardenas(Ned), Brady(Ned), Reyenga(PNG), and Jalali(PNG)) does Mojica beat out?  He's a good player but would he start ahead of these four guys?  I think Mojica is a 2nd Teamer this year.  There's only two pitchers that should get 1st team ahead of T. Hester and that is Laird and Bellow.  Bellow will be MVP so Laird and T. Hester should both be 1st Team pitchers.  I can see M. Hester competing for 1st team catcher.

20-4A needs to be updated: Nederland 12-1 PNG    10-3 LCM  9-4 Vidor 9-4 Livingston Lumberton Ozen Central

[/quote] Not with the other players at their positions.

I'll state players that IMO should obviously be in the running: PNG:  Rhame(1B), Reyenga(P/OF), Sweetenham(P/3B), Stone(SS), Jalali(OF)   Ned:  Bellow(P/1B/MVP); Laird(P/1B/OF); Cardenas(OF); Brady(OF); Pitts(DH); Sonnier(SS) Vid:  T.

If OF has that many potential MVPs then none of them are truly MVPs because they have too much talent around them. ;D

[quote name="westend1" post="792300" timestamp="1271773680"] I would say Trae Hester is more valuable to his team than any of these other fine players. [/quote] No doubt about him being MVP for Vidor.  Without him Vidor would struggle to make the playoffs.

Stone

[quote name="3amagic" post="789170" timestamp="1271086953"] I say use Kirby as the closer this week. #3 or #4 can beat LCM and then Kirby could start against Vidor Tuesday where we will get the matchup we expected last time with Bellow versus Hester. As to the topic. Nederland 7 PNG 5. [/quote] Who is the #3 or#4 for Nederland?  Tuesday is the most important game of the year so far for either team.  Nederland wins in a close one.

He's played better as a 3B than ss in the games I have seen but switch it up mcdonald to 3rd and sonnier to ss, they would both be on my infield.

[quote name="AJ25" post="786996" timestamp="1270607142"] Still the whole 2nd half of district. Need to flip their record from this half [/quote] If they flip their record they end up 7-7;  That will not get them in because PNG and Nederland at 6-1 would need to only win one game(Ozen or Central) and LCM and Vidor at 5-2 would only have to win 2(Ozen and Central) to reach 7-7 themselves.  I don't see any of these four teams not winning at least 3 games in the 2nd half.  Lumberton will have to win out not just flip the record if they are to have a chance at the playoffs.  IMO Lumberton is much better than past years but are not yet at the level of the top four.  Give Coach Reyenga another year to turn things around. 

[quote name="freshman1" post="787258" timestamp="1270651370"] WB doesnt have a manuel... [/quote] Ok WB shortstop, I thought his name was Conner Manuel(sp.).

Did PNG play everybody or just pad the numbers?

Westbrook

I would say in Jefferson County:   Bellow-MVP Laird/Johnson-Pitcher Babino-Catcher Rhame-1B Denzlinger-2B McDonald/Sonnier-SS/3B Cardenas-OF Wilson-OF Jalali-OF Pitts-DH Reyenga-Utility

Was the team that showed up Tuesday the team you said would make the playoffs? ;D ;D ;D

Is that better? :'( :'( :'(  Thanks for upping my karma.
